In the thrilling run up to new Doctor Who, Watch TV are giving us Doctor Who weekends! Good news for any Sky, cable, Virgin or TalkTalk viewers.
They promise us repeats of new Who, plus classic episodes and documentary / entertainment shows.
Starting at 2pm on Saturday we have Doctor Who: The Doctors Revisited, starting at episode 1, a half hour show all about the Hartnell years, followed at 2.30pm by Dr Who: The Aztecs, a Hartnell classic. A great intro to the first Doctor for the uninitiated.
